10 Incredible TED Talks That’ll Change The Way You Think

written by Silas & Grace

My husband was the person who first introduced me to TED Talks. I was instantly hooked to the amazing topics and incredible speaks that held my attention to the screen. They talked on subjects that hit me deeply and have changed the way I think.

I honestly feel that TED Talks are some of the best ways to educated people on how to better themselves or change their outlook on life and others.

And if you haven’t heard of them, TED Talks are nonprofit events devoted to spreading ideas, usually in the form of short talks.

Down below I found some amazingtalks that can help you in almost every area of your life. So whether you’re dealing with problems of motivation or confidence, these speakers will definitely give you food for thought.

How To Overcome Hopelessness

Nick Vujicic was born with no arms and legs, yet believes in purpose. He serves as an inspiration for anyone dealing with struggles in their lives and shows how to become motivated and overcome hopelessness and despair in life.

Philosophy for a Happy Life

Featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary Life According to Sam, Sam Berns talks about the important things and aspects of life that you should remember. He shares his insights on how you can make your life happy and how to stay positive. He also shares his best moments in life although he’s living with a disease called Progeria (a fatal disease that makes you prematurely age).

The Psychology of Self-Motivation

Motivation plays an important role in your life. It keeps you motivated to get through different life challenges and stay inspired in life. And this talk from Scott Geller will help empower you to get things done even if you have limited time and resources. He explained that anyone can become self-motivated only if you feel confident and competent in everything that you do.

The Power Of Believing That You Can Improve

Who says’s there’s no room for improvement? Motivational researcher, Carol Dweck, puts forward a case for the “not yet” approach to self-belief that provides room to grow and adapt. She makes the case specifically for children and their life choices, but the same can be applied to everyone, no matter their age.

Why We All Need To Practice Emotional First Aid

If your body aches or hurts in some way, the first thing you’d do is take care of what’s causing the pain. But when you feel emotional pain or psychological-health issues, you might fail to treat it. Psychologist and author Guy Winch urges us to pay more attention to our emotions and mental health so that we may become more resilient and live happier, more fulfilled, and less anxious lives.

Try Something New For 30 Days

This one is pretty fun and interesting. A quick and on point talk from Matt Cutts, focuses on how he decided to start 30-day challenges doing things he had always wanted to do. It was a surprise to himself by the end how much he had boosted his own confidence and independence.

How To Make Work-Life Balance Work

Whether you’re working a 9 to 5 job, graveyard shift, or from home, there’s always a way to have a work-life balance. Nigel Marsh focuses his talk on what it really mean to have a healthy work-life balance. It’s full of humor and essential lessons that you can apply to your life.

Your Body Language Shapes Who You Are

As said by many, action speaks louder than words. And in the same way, body language affects how others see you and how you see and feel about yourself. It’s a form of communication that affects how you’ll interact with people. Amy Cuddy goes over how your body language influences other people’s perception of you (as well as your own), and how to overcome negative body language.

Want to be Happy? Be Grateful!

David’s talk will open your eyes to the connection between happiness and gratitude. He tells an inspiring lesson on how to be happy. It’s the kind of talk that helps you change the way you think and inspires you to change.

The Art Of Being Yourself

You’ll love this talk from Caroline who tackles the subject of living your life being true to yourself and not simply pleasing everyone else. This is a talk that I highly recommend for anyone who has trouble with this.

Well, I hope that these ten powerful TED Talks were able to fire you up and inspire you to change your life. Choose one, two, three or all of them to watch or listen to in your free time. Share them as well with your family and friends, and start to live a better life!
